Each O’baware is made by our hands one piece at a time. We invite you to experience the natural curves and the warm texture that only handmade pottery can bring. They may be slightly odd shaped and irregular, just like us, but that’s a part of the beauty. And once you appreciate such human touch, there is no comparison. We hope you’d look, hold and put to use our ware in your everyday lives.
O’baware is a family studio in Lafayette, operated by Kazu, Yuka and Maya Oba.

About the ArtistYour Tour Guide
Kazu Oba
Potter, Sculptor.
Born in Kobe, Kazu Oba spent his early years in Japan. He moved to Colorado in the 90's and has called the Boulder area home ever since. He has continued to travel throughout the world for assistantships, workshops, and exhibitions. Kazu apprenticed under two masters, Jerry Wingren, a sculptor in stone and wood, then another master Takashi Nakazato, one of the world's most renowned potters in Karatsu, one of the ceramic centers of Japan. Kazu's pottery is dedicated to functional, everyday ware to be used in home. His background as a chef distinctly influences his work, as he maintains a constant focus on the relationship between his pots and the food that will occupy them.
